As in this episode, we will be starting the converstion of our Syma X8 from brushed to brush-less using the Universal DIY Upgrade Kit Spare Part for Syma X8 which can be ordered from goo.gl/gNdwnH So how will this go to together, how easy will be and so on? Well that is the purpose of this multi-part series where we start with the copter, move to the transmitter and finally wrap things up!

Note/Warning: As of this writing I am still unclear as to the positions of the motors as I installed them Clockwise/Clockwise and Counter/Counter just as on the original as the instructions do not describe nor indicate the placement. However I had to swap the proprs A=B and B=A to get it to fly so I am still sorting this piece out.

Please visit Video-Drone.DIY3DTech.com for more information on this and many other projects! As in this episode, we will be Looking a fly away of the Syma X8 and the crash which put it at the bottom of Lake Huron.

Note you may have turn up the audio as I was not of course intending for this video to be used like this however after the Syma was lost to Davy Jones locker this was all I had left to share as felt it worth sharing as “something” interfered with the Syma on the third flight as after becoming air born it took off and while I tried to crash it, it would not respond flying out (thankfully) over Lake Huron where it fell from the sky.

So I am sharing this as a safety video because it could have taken off over people, and two the 2.4gig band is flaky and subject to inference so I wanted people to see this can and does really happen. Remember fly safe!
